Shivraj Chouhan assures action against MP caught kicking a boy on camera

Dewas: Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan on Monday said that he would contemplate ordering a probe against his Cabinet colleague Kusum Mehdele, presently in the midst of a controversy for kicking a beggar boy, after going through the clarification submitted by her.

"She has given her explanation and sent it to me. I will see to it and if necessary the probe will be done," Singh said.

Madhya Pradesh animal husbandry minister Mehdele was sweeping a road near a bus stand on Sunday afternoon in Panna as part of a cleanliness drive when a teenager pleaded with her to give a rupee.

She instead kicked him on his head following which the child was caught by security personnel.
